This mixed circle dance is done in the Pannonian Zone of Croatia in the regions of Slavonija, Srijem and in Dinaric zone in the region of Lika during holidays and festive occasions. At one time, the dance was done to the accompaniment of a two-piped wood wind instrument, tambura "samica", or bagpipe (gajde) Today it is done to the accompaniment of a tambura orchestra.

Other ways to spell the name of the dance is "hajd' na levo", and "ajd na levo". The different spellings of the title reflect the various Croatian dialects that are spoken in the regions that this dance comes from. Other versions of this dance have been taught, and all of them are very similar.

The dance was researched by Zeljko Jergan in Slavonija and Baranja during 1978. This dance was presented by him at the Santa Barbara Symposium.
